Parental leave
Working women are granted maternity leave of 70 days before the expected date of birth and 56 days after the birth of the child. In the case of complicated births and the simultaneous birth of two or more children, leave is extended for an additional 14 calendar days.
You will need a certificate of temporary incapacity for work (sick leave) to take maternity leave. It is issued after 30 weeks of pregnancy by your obstetrician-gynecologist, and in his absence - by a doctor, together with the head of the department, after the conclusion of the medical advisory committee.
The sick leave you have received from the doctor must be submitted to the human resources department at your workplace and an application must be made, after which a maternity leave order must be issued.
Leave without pay to care for a child up to the age of 3
The employer is obliged to grant a leave without pay to care for a child up to the age of 3 years. This person can be a mother or father of the child, a guardian, an adopter.
This leave is granted on the basis of a written application of the employee indicating its duration and providing a birth certificate or other document confirming the fact of birth of the child.
Leave to care for a child up to the age of 3 years can be taken in full or in part and the employee's job (position) is retained for the time being.
If you plan to work before the end of your holiday, you must inform your employer one month in advance.
How to prepare for delivery through Training Centres
To give birth without complications, you need to properly prepare for the responsible moment. It is as natural to attend a prenatal school as it is to attend a course or a section/club.
The training programme is designed to cover the entire prenatal period. The classes are conducted by doctors, obstetricians and psychologists who have undergone special training and certification. The main task of classes in modern schools is to acquaint parents with all possible variants of childbirth (natural, partial anesthesia, caesarean section) and to help them consciously approach to this moment of life.
After you have been registered at a policlinic, the next thing you need to do is get registered for medical record within 10 weeks. Early consultation with the doctor helps to identify complications of pregnancy and to develop a pregnancy management plan before the exact delivery date is determined.
Mainly, a pregnant woman should apply to an obstetrician-gynecologist at the place of actual residence.
The following documents are required for registration:
After presentation of all the necessary papers and completion of some questionnaires, which will be issued in the registry, you will be issued 3 basic documents:

Throughout the entire period of pregnancy, a woman will need to pass a number of tests and undergo a comprehensive examination. The main ones are tests during registration, as well as screenings, one in each of the trimesters (12, 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy). Also, according to article 87 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, pregnant women are granted paid social leave for at least 3 working days.
Congratulations! Your baby was born.

This document will be required for further state registration of the child's birth.
